Availability & Fleet Activity

Make faster decisions with real-time availability views—see utilization by vehicle class, spot gaps in activity, and forecast inventory based on reservations and open rental agreements.

Availability is automatically tracked across your reservations and open rental agreements—so you don’t have to worry about overbooking.

Fleet Usability

Visualize utilization by vehicle class over time. Quickly identify which classes are underbooked (opportunity) and which are near capacity (pricing and inventory alerts).

  • Filter by vehicle class for clean, actionable insights.
  • Spot underutilized periods to run targeted promotions.
  • Use trend signals to guide buy/sell decisions.

Tip: Pair usability trends with your pricing rules to boost revenue during slower dates.
